Summary/Abstract: It was in 2007 when I finally decided to visit the Pasta Museum. I had avoided the place in all my previous visits to Rome – some of them quite long; sometimes I did it on purpose because it seemed to me that the entry fee was too large compared to what I thought such a museum could display, sometimes simply because I had to dedicate my time to other priorities. However, meeting a friend in Rome, who was more knowledgeable and more familiar with museums than me, enabled me to visit at least two very interesting museums that very year, which otherwise I would have missed all the time, but for her firm and welcoming suggestion. The two museums I visited are the Pasta Museum and the Canova-Tadolini Workshop-Museum.
